accidents like this throw a skill light on the general traffic situation in Germany. According to the numbers of Statista there were about 2.5 million road traffic accidents in 2023. Despite a general increase in accidents in recent decades, the number of accidents with personal injury has remained largely stable. The most common causes of such accidents are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol. This event in Nuremberg could be a serious memory for all road users to have the necessary attention in road traffic.

The role of traffic safety

The fact that traffic accidents are still the order of the day also prompted the EU Transport Minister to issue the “Vision Zero” goal. This means that there should no longer be any traffic fatalities by 2050. After all, in 2023 there were a total of 2,839 traffic fatalities in Germany, which shows that there is still a lot to do despite all efforts.

In 2023, for example, around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents were registered, which cost 193 people. If you drive through the streets, you might think that everything is in the green, but these incidents illustrate that vigilance is essential in road traffic.

a call for caution

The road traffic authorities are required to continue to ensure safe cooperation in traffic. Every road user has the responsibility to look at the street and to be aware of the dangers that traffic brings. Let's stay attentive to avoid future accidents and make the streets safer.
